Autostop Function
• While the wipers are operating, the autostop switch remains on except when the wipers are in the park position.
Current flows through the INT relay to the windshield wiper switch, windshield wiper motor, then to ground.
Thus, the wipers continue to operate until they reach the park position even if the windshield wiper switch
moves to the OFF position.
One-touch Wiper Operation
• When the wiper lever is pushed up, the one-touch switch turns on, and current flows through the one-touch
switch to the windshield wiper motor, then to ground. The wipers operate at low speed for one cycle.
• While the wiper lever is pushed up and held, the wipers operate continuously at low speed. When the wiper
lever is released, the autostop function activates and the wipers stop at the park position.
